The current 16:45 May 25, 2018
Spanish government is hanging on by a thread, severely damaged by corruption cases and the independence lobby in Catalonia, among other things, and is being propped up by the recently formed Citizen's party (C's), which is a sort of mini-me of the traditionally right wing, post-franco “Popular Party” (PP). The idea of those slightly to the left is that a larger coalition , for example of the PSOE (nowadays a socialist party in name alone, and also beset by corruption and internal divisions) and the newly-formed Podemos (new lefties) might be able to form a stronger, more viable alternative, perhaps with the help of C’s, however unlikely this may be, given that they never seem to be able to form a united front on anything for more than a few days at a time). I could go on for hours about this, but this afternoon I have other fish to fry.
